The Goulburn Valley lost a trotting stalwart this week with the passing of Kevin Weidenbach after a short illness.
Kevin, 80, spent a lifetime in the industry, firstly in South Australia where he was a leading trainer and driver then in Victoria where he and his wife Marlene ran Festival Lodge stud at Harston for many years and stood several successful stallions including the top trotting stallion Red Coach Glory.
Kevin raced many horses down the years, including Spring Festival who won 30 races in South Australia and Festival Summer, a multiple winner in Victoria who won three Coca Cola Cups at Moonee Valley.
One of his sons, Paul, and grandson Kevin Jr inherited his love of the sport and have carried on the family tradition.
His funeral was held yesterday (Thursday. March 1) at the Tatura Lawn Cemetery.
